As a mom, I’m always looking for fun things to do with my children every holiday. On Valentine’s Day, I usually cook a special breakfast, bake brownies and watch a movie. I also like to incorporate books into our celebrations. So, this year I’m sharing that tradition with all of you!
Have a brownie and a book with your children this Valentine’s Day. The perfect children’s book choice is “Ninja Brownies,” an enchanting story about three brothers who get ninja powers after eating their mom’s brownies. These three ninjas use their powers to defeat a villain caught taking treats from the family bakery.
